This is my second mod in a project that seeks to overhaul and improve some of the Fallout: New Vegas vanilla interiors to make them feel more lived in, more functional and aesthetically pleasing. All of these mods will be designed with my own particular style, while trying to remain true to the lore and feel of the vanilla game.
You can check out my other work here: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69726 & here: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69958 where I created a fully lore-friendly coffee house themed player home and overhauled Brewer's Beer Bootlegging respectively.
In this mod, I aim to overhaul "Victor's Shack" into a fully functional, fully realized location and player home. This mod will convert the vanilla location to be much improved atmospherically, whist giving it added functionality for the courier.
Feel free to suggest any improvements that can be made to this mod, and if you enjoy it please don't forget to leave an endorsement!
Victor's shack is in my opinion a missed opportunity to show an early courier just who or what victor is, what are his intentions? why is he here in Goodsprings? who is he working for?
Instead the location, is simply - a shack. Blandy, vanilla and boring. It's not all that atmospheric, gives the player no information about the character that inhabits it and Is limited in storage and crafting options.
It's in perfect location for a first player base for someone who's simply after a lore friendly, atmospheric and simple hideout.
I've always felt some of the locations in the game are underappreciated and lacking unique content, this second mod in a series of overhauls seeks to fix another one of the larger offenders in my opinion.
In the next section, I've posted a video which should showcase the overhaul involved in this mod.
